Lesotho: the bitter harvest of Mandela's gunboat diplomacy

This is the bitter harvest of the seeds sown by Mandela's gunboat diplomacy in the illegitimate SANDF-BDF invasion of Lesotho in August 1998 to crush a pro-democratic mutiny aimed at these same military strongmen who now run Lesotho as their fiefdom (although we lied to the international community and pretended it was a coup d'etat). Read my field reports from that mutiny, and about how the SAPS has been involved in kidnapping Lesotho opposition politicians, in Drinking with Ghosts:http://www.timeslive.co.za/…/…/Reign-of-terror-grips-Lesotho
